Lauren Tesoriero returns after missing last week's loss to Melbourne.
This weekend, Collingwood hits the road in search of its first win in the AFL Women's competition.
After two games at Ikon Park, the Magpies will fly to Queensland to take on the undefeated Brisbane at South Pine Sports Complex.
The match committee has made three changes, recalling Ruby Schleicher and Lauren Tesoriero, who were omitted after the opening loss to Carlton, and blooding Georgia Walker, who joined the club in late December.

About the inclusions
Coach Wayne Siekman on Collingwood's three inclusions:
Ruby Schleicher
"Ruby will add further versatility to our team, not just in the ruck but all over the ground. Her ability to play in multiple positions will help us this week."
Lauren Tesoriero
"A strong-bodied midfielder who will help against a very good midfield that we're up against, and add further depth to the onball group."
Georgia Walker
"She's been training well and will add further depth to our midfield, especially given we're playing in hot afternoon conditions in Queensland. She will give us the extra run that we require."

How will we approach our trip to Queensland?
"We're excited to get the group together to go away for two days to play a very well coached side in Brisbane," Siekman said.
"To play in hot conditions is going to be a good challenge that both sides will need to manage.
"We've picked a side that can give us the best chance to get the four points this week."
